WINNIPEG, Man, July 15.-This has
been a cold day for Winnipeg on the
lacrosse field and water. She has been
beaten badly. and her young men begin
TO think they have got a good deal to
learn vet in athletics. This has been
the city's formal celebration of the jul
bilee and there has been excitement all
day. In the forenoon various military
corps paraded. and after going through
maneuvers engaged in a sham battle,
after which they dispersed. At1o'clOck
q monster procession of the fire brigade,
rowing clubs, military bands, trades
unions, etc, marched through the main
street. In the early part OF the after
noon the lacrosse game was played be-
tween the Ninetieth battalion club. of
this city. and the Plum creek club, the
latter a country club from a district
about 1O0miles west OF Winnipeg. The
visitors dOwned the home men easily,
winning three out Of four games. The
main attraction was, however, the re-
gatta, commencing at $50. 1t was
viewed by thousands of people. The
day was splendid. cool and calm, with
only a slight ripple on the water. The
course Is on the Red river, affording a
good mile course with one or two turns
in case OF longer races. The men were
all in good form and keen competition
was expected. with odds among the bet
ting men being offered on the LEGAL
crews. but betting i'll most cases was
even till evening. when the local men
asked odds. The visiting crews have
proved a decided surprise to everybody
here. All the Winnipegers felt conf
dent before the start that the trophies
We're going to remain here. The first
race was single canoes, one mile, three
entries, Turner, Lemon and Arm
strong, all home men. Turner won
easily. The next was fOur-oared.
THE OLD COUNTRY AGAINST CANADA.
The crews were: Old Country. Adams,
Dickens. .Tullsch and Tempest; Canada,
Chaffrey. Thomson. Werner and An
drewS. 1t was a close race. The Old
Country won by three seconds. Then
came the SeniOr-singleS. two miles with
a turn. with !. Z. MuchmoTe. Of the
Lurlines. J. II. TurHGUll. Of winnipeg,
and +. j. Wood. of the Mime
sofas. Wood got away first, but
after a few strokes caught a crab
and was practically ont of the race,
though he gallantly attempted to re-
cover his lost ground. and pulled over
the course in the rear of the others.
Turnbull led a little at first, but was
soon overtaken by Muchm0re, who then
kept the lead without difficulty and
came in an easy winner amid the plaud-
its of the people and hearty cheers of
his comrades, who aSt0nished the ma
tiveS by their Lurline hurrah. Much
more pulled a splendid stroke. His
time was 14:51;5; Turnbull, 15:15:
Wood. 1870. The Junior fOurs next
took water. This race was also two
miles with a turn. and these were the
crews: st. Paul, IL. L. Wheat, r. j.
Grover, II. a. Dorsey, o. n. Nelson,
stroke: Winnipeg, II. K. Earwood, w.
T. Kirby. B. p. Dewar, 4. VI.
the water first and got away with Il
slight lead, Which,they easily increased,
their clean, steady stroke being greatly
admired. Winnipeg pulled a slower
stroke and made good deal more fuss
about it. As they came down the home
stretch Winnipeg tried hard to reduce
the gap. but failed. and st. Paul won by
several lengths i'll II 2:5G: Winnipeg's S
time. 13:10$z. The Junior doubles was
the concluding event of tO-day'S pro-
gramme. BY this time Winnipeg stock
had
GONE WAY DOWN,
and President Howell, of the Rowing
club. was looking round for a buffalo
coat TO keep out the cold. The two pre-
ceding races had given such complete
evidence of the superior power of the
visitors that nearly every one felt this
race would result as they did, and
it did. 1t was two miles with
turn. The crews We're: LurlineS-
II. F. Watson. Charles Libby; Winni-
peg. F. L. Patton, Ii. Gait. The Lur-
lines shot ahead from the start. pulling
a more rapid stroke than their oppo-
nentS, and moving together like clock
work. They kept good lead through
out the race. and came in winner in
1912 Winnipeg's time, 1851. The
vast crowd was. of course, disappointed
at the results III each Of these races. but
accorded to the winning crews hearty
cheers and warm congratulations. The
Twin CITY men show the results of good
practice Their recovery is quicker and
cleaner than the WinnipegS, and their
fours and doubles worked together as
one man. The opinion largely prevails
this evening that they will take the
Junior singles and senior doubles to-
morrow. but the home crew is still con
fident OF winning the senior fOurS.
At this evening the first heat in the
race for $50 was rOWeG two miles with a
turn between StCne and FOrrey. The
former simply played with his OppO-
ncnt. The concluding heat between
Stone and Murphy will be rOwed to-
morrow. The pyrotechnic display on
the river tonight opposite the rowing
club house was magnificent.
